>Help the nerds with their truck investigation (-1d2 to group suspicion)
While it would be suspicious if you started explaining what the different parts of an engine do,
it would be beneficial to play a bit dumb and help the archeologist open up the truck without breaking it.
There were ten of them.
Five demon-tech specialist, four rune-crafters and Niven, who welcomed you warmly and thank you for the opportunity to study.
The truck was surprisingly mundane, not a single rune in its craft.
That was a letdown for some of the eggheads, but they persisted, and began studying the english texts scattered along the cabin.
Since these people used runes for writing, a writing that had no true meaning without its language was interesting on its own.
They had some words nailed down but not that many, the amount fluctuated with how many inquisitorial visits they had in a year.
You limited yourself to opening the different compartments and explaining what the pedals did.
[Group suspicion = 7]
In the meantime you had time to talk to Niven.
He knew little of the purpose of the expedition, is orders were to serve as a consultant for Rot eater behavior and demon tech.
He confessed he knew little of the first and nothing of the second, but he wasn’t going to pass an opportunity like this.
You then asked about the other people here, he called most of them mind-numbingly slow.
Very dumb scholars, he guessed it was done on purpose so they would be expendable.
And the three leaders were not all from clan seeker, one came from the Law-bringer clan and the other was part of the military.
Then he forced you to teach him to drive, after almost running over a scholar, Nhave banned driving inside the camp.
Then you had a conversation with Hildra, explaining the whole Flora situation.
“Okay, that’s worrying. Because I have been seeing her flirt with… almost everyone. Should we worry?”
“Maybe.” You said, trying to figure out if this was a scheme to escape or to entertain herself.
“I’ll try to keep an eye on her then. Thanks for telling me, I was considering taking her offer up.
Wait, is she a she?” she asked worried.
“More of an It.”
“Never been with an it. Wait, no, bad idea.”
